This is a guide to getting Age of Empires Online to work properly on Windows 8. When you first install it on 8 it gives you the error code 800B0100. This should fix this error code, and allow the game to launch.

I already dealt with the loss of all my progress and since server shutdown, nothing can be done about that.
But now I noticed another blow: My "time spent playing" statistic has been reset to zero. Achievements also say "error loading profile".
